We are dedicated to delivering top-notch service while bringing the essence of Mexico with our delicious cuisine and festive atmosphere. Our vibrant restaurant and distinctive tequila bar reside in a historical Union Pacific Railroad Depot that was built in 1904. Currently, under new ownership, Shawna Rider brings over 35 years of knowledge and experience in the restaurant industry. Her vision for El Patrón is to deliver the best authentic Mexican cuisine along with amazing guest service. With all these elements combined, El Patrón Downtown Riverside will certainly be above the rest. Using only the freshest ingredients and scratch-made Mexican recipes, our new master Chef Juan Carlos has taken El Patrón’s menu to a new and enhanced level. Along with our exquisite cuisine, our newly upgraded tequila bar features some of the finest and most popular selections of tequila which will make your experience at El Patrón Downtown Riverside an unforgettable one.
